NINA: “Paolo has been instructor 3 times for technicians and researchers in the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research -NINA-. He has made a QGIS new beginners course, a QGIS advanced course as well, as a Lizmap course specifically to fulfill the needs of the institute. He is a very experienced instructor, patient and willing to help the attendees. We are very much satisfied with the courses that make a quick off for starting to use this efficient tools. Thanks Paolo and Faunalia!”

Howard Frederick - QGIS and PostGIS training in Arusha for the Tanzania Conservation Resource Centre: “We were fortunate to have Paolo Cavallini come and teach an advanced course in PostGIS with QGIS in Arusha in December 2015, the second time he has come to Tanzania to teach. Students were able to get into PostGIS very quickly, turning out some excellent analyses and getting the basics of setting up, administering and using a PostGIS database on their personal machines.”

Nobusuke Iwasaki , NARO: “In Oct 2012, We held the Faunalia courses about QGIS in Japan. It was a great opportunity for Japanese user to learn and understand QGIS more deeply!”

Kosuke AsahiFOSS4G Hokkaido: “Dr.Paolo Cavallini’s QGIS workshop in English is very easy to understand even for none-native English speaker like me. He kindly gave me a lot of practical skill from his workshop. I strongly recommend his workshop for none-native English speaker too.”

The Geodatabases course is aimed at those who need to learn how to manage a geodatabase of complex geographic data. The course also covers the use of PostGIS’ many database functions that allow for complex geoprocessing to be carried out within the database and displayed in real-time.

Upon completion of the course, trainees will dispose of a fully featured virtual PostGIS server, ready to be uploaded to any virtualised environment provider.

To understand how to power up QGIS with Python scripting language. The aim is to provide the tools and the basic knowledge to develop Python scripts and plugins. After a quick introduction to Python the participants will be guided step by step to develop scripts and a plugin.

Knowledge of basic Python skills is useful, but not necessary. At least a basic knowledge of programming principles and of QGIS is needed.
